Smart battery pack system capable of providing power during errors in its firmware data

A battery pack management system, comprising:

• a server;
• an external set device including a battery pack and a host device, wherein the host device receives updated data of a predetermined program from the server through communication with the server and stores the received updated data, the battery pack comprises:
• a battery cell;
• a charge/discharge control unit that controls charging and discharging of the battery cell;
• a microprocessor that controls driving of the charge/discharge control unit;
• a first storage medium external to the microprocessor that receives the updated data of the predetermined program from the microprocessor, records and stores the received updated data and transmits the updated data of the predetermined program to the microprocessor;
• and
• a data communication unit that receives the updated data of the predetermined program from the host device and transmits the received updated data to the microprocessor,
• wherein upon errors being generated in product data and program data of the microprocessor, the microprocessor resets the charge/discharge control unit and applies the updated data of the predetermined program to the charge/discharge control unit while operating the charge/discharge control unit in a safety mode to safely operate the external set device until the charge/discharge control unit is updated with the received updated data of the predetermined program.

A battery pack management system, comprising:

• an external set device including a battery pack and a host device, wherein the host device includes a first storage medium to receive updated data of a predetermined program from the server via communication with the server and store within the received updated data from the server, the host to transmit the received updated data to the battery pack, the battery pack comprises:
• a battery cell;
• a charge/discharge control unit that controls charging and discharging of the battery cell;
• a microprocessor that controls driving of the charge/discharge control unit;
• a data communication unit that receives the updated data of the predetermined program from the host device and transmits the received updated data to the microprocessor;
• and
• the first storage medium records and stores the updated data transmitted from the data communication unit, wherein upon errors being generated in product data and program data of the microprocessor, the microprocessor resets the charge/discharge control unit and applies the updated data of the predetermined program to the charge/discharge control unit while operating the charge/discharge control unit in a safety mode to safely operate the external set device while and until the charge/discharge control unit is updated with the received updated data of the predetermined program.
